Congratulations on a successful landing!
I have a few questions for you or anybody pls:
1) what’s the difference between enrollment letter and acceptance letter

2) what is arriveCaN

3) is it the same bank statements that you submitted during application that we’ll have in hand to prove we have enough funds at the port of entry??

1.Enrolment letter says you have registered for classes. Acceptance is school acknowledging you have met the terms of admission.

2. It’s a travel application for people coming into canada— mostly for visitors and students

3. I’m not quite sure. But I believe the statement should be updated up on till say one week before travel cos it won’t make sense to present six months old statement. Also this might not be asked, it just depends on the officer.

Romoke1995:
I didn’t see anything of such
Maybe you didn’t get my question .
I mean was it Lagos you sent your passport too or Abuja?and how long does it take to get your stamped passport back thanks

Sorry... I submitted to Lagos office... it took 2 weeks.

Landing gist:
Hi guys. I finally landed in Canada. I’m sharing this because reading other people’s landing gist made mine a lot easier.

So my flight was Air France from Lagos to Paris to Toronto.
Lagos:
Got to the airport quite early past 2pm, didn’t want any stories, my flight was for 11:30pm but the check-in began at 5. Already weight by bags at home, but upon getting to the airport, one guy directed me to a faulty scale, of which I may have paid extra luggage if I didn’t know the weights of my bags . I cleared the bag with the Agricultural section. Paid N2k cos I only had one bag with food items, and received a certificate from them. This cert. didn’t turn out useful in any way.
When boarding I showed my Covid text, ArriveCAN receipt, visa, and admission letter.

Paris.
Flight was delayed till past 12 midnight. In flight meal wasn’t so great. Landed in Paris at 6:30 Nigerian time. Just presented my Covid test, passport and admission letter to the immigration officer in Paris. Had an 8 hours layover and began my next trip at 2:30 pm Nigerian time.

Toronto:
Again, Inflight meal wasn’t so great, plus it seemed like they were hoarding the drinks. So I just had the few snacks I bought earlier. Flight was 8 hours long and tiring. Watched a few movies though.

Upon getting to Canada. You are directed to go to a self-help machine where you scan your passport, give sum info about your stay and duration. And take a photo image of yourself
Then you proceed to the immigration officer who asks for your Covid test and admission letter, this will determine if you will be quarantined or not. I already got double vaccinated, I filled out this info on the arrive-can app, hence I didn’t have to quarantine.
I proceeded next to the next officer where I’m supposed to get my work permit. This is where I spent a bit of time. Obviously, the guy may have had a beef for Nigerians before now, cos immediately I got there I had my passport and the slip generated from the self service machine on his counter, he then requested I gave him my passport and a white paper. Because I wasn’t clear on what paper he wanted exactly, I asked again and he got irritated. He sha went ahead to ask for my acceptance letter, my enrolment letter, evidence of payment, and proof of fund(living expense)
I gave every other thing, but didn’t have my bank statement printed out. I offered to show him my bank balance on my phone, and next thing the guy flared up. He said if I were in Lagos or Abuja, will I show the officials document on my phone, why would I then do it here.... He went on and on about a lot of things, about me giving him attitude and all that. Me that was exhausted from the whole trip.

I apologise and said I was a bit anxious, which he might perceive as me giving him attitude. He eventually saw my bank balance on the phone, converted to CAD, had no other excuse and reluctantly went to print the work permit.

But again before that, he was emphasising how I should not work more than 20 hours and even had to call a colleague to ask why this was not indicated on the letter he was to give me. The college said it didn’t matter. The guy has no choice than to print my letter and stamp my passport.

When he finished I asked where he came from, apparently, the guy is from Benin Republic. He definitely has some beef for nigeria. He mentioned he had been to Lagos and Abuja a couple of times.

To tell you how beefed he was, he had to run after me to give back the slip from the self-service machine, which I needed to hand over upon exit from the airport.

Meanwhile my seat mate on the flight who is also a student had finished and kept calling, but I could not even return his call nor text him, hence he had to leave almost 30 minutes before me.

Hope you find this piece useful.
Thanks guys.

Congregations. Talking about the affidavits of return to Nigeria after completion of study, what if you get to Canada and see a nice job offer after graduation and decided to stay back won't it have effect? I want the Guru in the house to help answer this question as well.

You need to convince the VO you will return to your country after studying. This document just gives them a legal assurance.

Hello Everyone,

I got a correspondence letter 9th Sept but not PPR. I am really worried. What should I do? I need help.

Applied May 14th.

Congratulations to all who received their PPR����

Hello Everyone,

I have been a silent reader, and also a May 14th applicant.

I am putting this out here as I am hopeful to return here and share my testimony.

Congratulations to all who have receviced their PPR.

Being an accounting graduate myself, I will advise you to study economics and thereafter take the professional exams. In the future you will be open to more areas of study than if you did accounting

Why arrest and suspect an organisation if you are still investigating?? These people were training their staff on self defence because of the obvious. The govt has failed to protect lives and properties, yet hunt those that dare to take matters into their own hands . This is plain sad

Don't make the mistake of marrying someone who doesn't have a steady source of income. It always ends in tears. It is never right, and can never be.

I think the idea of asking "when will NNPC 2019 recruitment be concluded" on Kyari"s twitter page is a good idea to keep them on their toes.

Lets keep making this little effort, you never can tell, it might pay off.

Please is there hope for 453 in the coming draws??

Go for professional certification to get you into your career and afterwards you can do an online degree

Just received 20k too..
EH 5th Lagos

Good day All,

Anyone in my shoes?

This is a really good development. I gets me thinking of all the resources in the north that can be harnessed to bring them to par with the rest of the regions..Good one there!
